Jaw Dropping 3D Sketchbook Artworks of Nagai Hideyuki

There had been so many artists who are well known due to their unique art works. But it is not just about the distinctiveness of their work that brought them to fame but it is how certain obras can be created by him alone. Every art work is unique since it can no longer be redone. Once repeated, it is no longer the authentic artwork. That is why, every obra of an artist is considered a treasure not just by the artist himself but also by his fans and followers.

Same as any other art work, the 3D art of Nagai Hideyuki is certainly a treasure. Nagai is a young Japanese artist who once dreamed of becoming a cartoonist. But then he realized that comic drawing is not the right track for him. That realization occurred when he saw the 3D street art of Julian Beever in the newspaper. He was inspired by the work and also tried to venture into creating 3D arts. Unfortunately, drawing on the street was not allowed in his location, so he looked for a different way to do it. He then started creating 3D sketches from his very own sketch books. Much better idea, right?

In the birth of Nagai’s 3d art, he made use of his pen and pencil with the technique called anamorphosis. Anamporphosis is a distorted projection or perspective requiring the viewer to use special devices or occupy a specific vantage point to reconstitute the image. In Nagai’s case, he merely propped two sketchbooks at 90 degrees to one another and did his drawings there. Well, get to see the works of Nagai and you will surely cannot stop your jaws from dropping. With the magical touch of his pen and pencil, Nagai’s sketches have come to life!
